"Autocar has cobbled together what we know about the GT1 so far to create this rendering of what the Bugatti Veyron-beater might look like when it surfaces sometime in 2009. The info we already know hasn't changed much. The car will be a 950-bhp, street-legal version of Porsche's future Le Mans racer and use the Carrera GT's carbon fiber frame with a new nose and tail. The GT1's top speed will be 254 mph, 2 mph more than the Veyron.



Autocar's drawing is said to be inspired from leaked technical drawings, so this is more than an artist's best guess. The magazine also claims that Porsche has already begun testing 950-bhp engines, despite not knowing whether the GT1's powerplant will be a turbocharged version of the Carrera GT's V10 or a bored-out, twin-turbo version of the Cayenne S's V8. Regardless of which engine is chosen, the GT1 holds the promise of stealing the top podium spot away from the Bugatti Veyron."

That cobbled-together drawing looks eerily similar to Ruf's Cayman GTR (or whatever it was called)....



I personally would rather see the GT1 develop from the 997 lineage versus the Carrera GT. I have never liked the looks of the GT.



That said, I will gladly accept the donation of one (1) new GT1 should someone want to me one (although I don't think I could afford the tax!)!

The 96'-97' version of the GT1 is still my all time favorite car.



I absolutly love the look.



Its too bad Porsche watered down the street version to 544hp.



Im excited to see a new one. I just hope they base it off the 911 not the CGT.



Actually I like just about anything based off the 911. ie. 935 959 GT1 <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
